From information derived personally from Maj r Judah Alden, who is a very respectable Magistrate in this County, and who was a Lieut t under Col l Bradford in 1776, while Glasp served, and who was afterwards Captain till the close of the war, I am satisfied this claimant is not the same man to whom a pension Certificate has been issued — The rolls in the Secreta ry's office at Boston contain the name of John Glasp, who belonged to Berwick, and appears to have served the first 3 years in Col l Bailey's Reg t & in the 2 d Company commanded by Maj r Alden (then Captain). Major Alden says they are not the same; was but two distinct men: that this claimant did not serve but one year, which was 1776.

This claimant is above 80 years of age, is infirm and has not been out of the Town where he lives for many years - I went to his house by his request to take his Declaration. - He does not know Judge Parker, and Worcester is more than 80 miles from Duxbury. - There was a another man by the name of John Glass, who was in the first 3 years service who belonged to Berwick when he enlisted, and who served under the same Captain of Judah Alden This Claimant served en- list in 1776.

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
On this 85. first day of July A.D. 1818, before me the subscriber, one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Southern Circuit, personally appeared John Glab of  aged eighty  Dunbury Mr years, resident in the said Circuit, who being by me first duly cautioned according to law, on his oath made the following declaration, by him signed, in order to obtain the provision made by the late act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war," viz. That he entered into said land service in Capt Samuel Bradford's Company & Col. Litchfield's Regiment in the Massachusetts line on the first day of May 1775 and served therein till the December of the same year - and then enlisted again in the same company for one year and continued to serve therein till the last of December 1776 making one whole year's service - that the Regiment during 1776 was commanded by Col. John Bailey - and that he was discharged from a hospital in February 1777 in N. York state being six weeks beyond the term of his enlistment. —

And Major Judah Alden , a very respectable Magistrate in Plymouth County and a man of undoubted veracity personally appeared before me and made solemn oath that the said John Glass did serve during the whole of the year 1776 as he has before stated, and that he the said Alden was Lieutenant of the same Company during the year. — The Captain & Colonel are both dead
And I, the said Judge, do certify, that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said John Glass did serve in the revolutionary war, as stated in the preceding declaration, against the common enemy, for the term of nine months, on the continental establishment; and I now transmit the proceedings and testimony taken and had before me, to the Secretary for the Department of War, pursuant to the directions of the aforementioned act of Congress, and that from his reduced circumstances he needs the assistance of his country for support —
